DENTAL CLEANING

Dental cleaning involves removing plaque (soft, sticky, bacteria-infested film) and tartar (calculus) deposits that have built up on the teeth over time.

Allowing plaque and tartar to accumulate on the teeth creates the ideal conditions for bacteria to thrive next to the gums. Cleaning and polishing leaves the surfaces of the teeth clean and smooth so that bacteria are less able to stick enabling you to better keep your teeth clean during regular home care.
